Sheila Escovedo (Sheila E) Cindy Blackman (drummed with Lenny Kravitz, I believe) Honey Lantree (sp) (honeycombs) Caroline Coor (coors) Moe Tucker Georgia Hubley and Karen Carpenter played on tour
Debbi Peterson (Bangles) Samantha Malone (Hole) Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney) I actually had a huge argument about this as a teenager. Nearly lost a friend. He maintained that the lack of women drummers in the world signified the inferiority of women generally (did I mention we were 15 at the time?). Anyway I wish I had been more experienced I could have argued that *not* being a drummer is the next evolutionary step ;-). Just kidding I love drummers, they are hightly inteligent socially aware...Oh who am I kidding they won't be able to read this! ;-) I'm more concerned with the lack of Lady lead guitarists.
haha....meg white sucks.... i played drums better than her when i was twelve.... cindy blackman the chick that played in the trucker band for kid rock(i forgot her name) there are a lot more but i can't think of all their names... oh and ME!! haha i love being a female drummer but i still don't see why it is so amazing to some people..... everytime i play a gig i have a line of guys from like 13- 68 telling me how much they like my playing and how i don't look like a drummer because i am a blonde girl......... i don't understand the fascination men...... YES, a woman CAN play drums just as well as any guy, so sit down and stop hooting and hollering while i'm trying to solo www.myspace.com/anjillapiazza
